Zoe's Flame


Book Description

Zoe is a fresh-faced, adventure-loving young woman who has married her soulmate and settled down. Maybe married life, a steady paycheck, and living in the "right" part of town haven't turned out quite like she expected, but she's happy with what she has. She loves her husband, and even indulges him in a hotwife fantasy that she really doesn't understand - just pretending, but that's all he really wants her to do, right? In a chance encounter with someone from her past, Zoe opens up to the idea of indulging Josh's hotwife fantasy with more... realism. Lucky for Josh, she's stumbled on to an older man, which is an aspect of his fantasy he never dared to share with her. It looks like they might have stumbled on the perfect infusion for their marriage: adventure for Zoe, and a touch of darkness for Josh. But Zoe's choice of man comes with greater complications than she - or Josh - anticipated. Older men come with older passions, and more experience getting what they want. Did Zoe open up her marriage, or a Pandora's Box?
